Stockton's state Assembly member is heading to Virginia this summer for an educational program for legislators from around the country.

Assemblywoman Susan Eggman, D-Stockton, was nominated to attend a class for emerging state leaders by California Assembly Speaker John Pérez, according to Eggman's office. Courses cover ethics, leadership, policy and the role of state legislatures in national politics.

Eggman will be one of 50 newly-elected lawmakers from 42 states taking part in the Emerging Leaders Program at the University of Virginia's Darden School of Business Administration.

The four-day program begins July 8. Travel, lodging and tuition are provided through the State Legislative Leaders Foundations and involves no cost to taxpayers, according to a statement from her office announcing her attendance at the summer program.

"I hope to pick up skills and knowledge that will help me better serve the people of the 13th Assembly District," Eggman said in the statement.
